Jackson Gaskins would do just about anything to work in the NFL, even if that means living out of his own van. Gaskins, 22, is a training camp intern with Washington, and he admits he fudged the truth a bit when he applied for his position. “I lied on the application when I said that I had a place to live,” Gaskins says. “I was planning on living out of my van.”
Gaskins drove 3,313 miles from San Diego to Richmond, Va. (taking a circuitous route) to work an unpaid training camp internship. He made the four-day trip solo with a broken radio and a mattress shoved in the back of his 2004 Toyota Sienna.
